Ye Feiyan's reappearance made the entire hall fall silent again. Those who had originally been ready to watch the show shut their mouths. Only one person raised her hand, and the two hands clapped in the air. The applause was particularly harsh. The red nails set off her hands as very white, but there was little color in them. "The protagonist has finally arrived. However, today's protagonists were clearly supposed to be two people. Why is only one here now?"
Ye Feiyan slowly walked down the stairs, slightly raising her chin. "Miss Susan, it's very impolite of you to change into your dress but not wear gloves."
Susan was wearing a flamboyant red dress and didn't seem to care at all if she stole the limelight from the protagonists. She looked at Ye Feiyan fearlessly. When she saw Ye Feiyan's empty arm, she smiled. Ye Feiyan's black long dress was very gorgeous, but she wasn't wearing lace gloves either.
Ye Feiyan squinted her eyes. She had been so busy coaxing the little rabbit just now that she had forgotten to put on her gloves after taking them off. However, this was her banquet. Even if Susan was Takara's cousin, she shouldn't be so impolite.
Neither Susan nor Ye Feiyan spoke, only their eyes met. The hall fell silent again. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Ye Feiyan slowly walked towards her. The sound of her high heels was very clear. Susan instinctively took a step back. Some of the other vampires were still holding goblets, and some were tasting the blood in the cups. They all stepped back in unison, making way for Ye Feiyan. There was a gleam of excitement in their eyes, clearly looking forward to the show.
Susan was the daughter of the Grand Elder of the vampires and had the most powerful fire attribute. She grew up in the Elder Council and was *******. But Ye Feiyan was a legendary figure in the western forest. Although she was only three hundred years old like Susan, no one knew her magic attribute, nor did anyone know exactly how powerful her magic power was. In the absence of conflicts of interest, no one would be so foolish as to come to Ye Feiyan looking for trouble.
Purple light danced on the tips of Ye Feiyan's fingers, and the aura of magic came and went. Susan hunched over, bared her fangs, and raised her hand in a defensive gesture. There was no sign of her previous dignity and elegance. Blue flames danced in Susan's hands, and the powerful aura made everyone hold their breath.
In the world of vampires, Susan was powerful enough, but Ye Feiyan's casual approach made her step back step by step.
Ye Feiyan didn't want to make the first move. That would make her seem impolite. But Susan just didn't dare to make a move, which made Ye Feiyan feel a bit bored. She stopped and let out a scornful laugh. "Do you really think that by openly opposing me for Takara's sake, Takir will marry you?"
"You!" Having her thoughts exposed, Susan became furious. There were only ten steps between her and Ye Feiyan. Seeing Ye Feiyan getting closer and closer, Susan concentrated and controlled a fireball to fly towards Ye Feiyan. Where the firelight passed, the air became hot and dry, and everyone held their breath.
Ye Feiyan smiled slightly and gently raised her hand. The flames dissipated in mid-air, and the dazzling light blinded Susan's eyes.
"This... This is impossible." Susan couldn't believe that her magic had been so easily dispelled. She stepped back step by step. There were rumors that Ye Feiyan had a wood attribute. The reason she had never revealed it was actually that she was too weak. Susan had believed the rumors and dared to make a move, but how could a wood attribute so easily withstand her fire attack?
Ye Feiyan smiled gently, but it made Susan shiver. Her dark red eyes grew colder and colder, and the murderous intent in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
Ye Feiyan walked up to Susan and gently raised her hand. Susan closed her eyes in despair, and none of the guests in the hall came to her aid. Susan had always been reckless in her actions. The move just now was an attempt to directly kill Ye Feiyan. As soon as she made a move, she had used up most of her magic power. Now she had no ability to fight back.
Just as everyone was waiting to watch a good show, Ye Feiyan raised her hand and tucked a lock of Susan's disheveled hair behind her ear.
"You're too weak." Her red lips were close to Susan's ear as she softly said these four words. Her tone was flat, without mockery or provocation, but it made Susan feel a burning sensation on her face.
"Ye Feiyan, do you know the consequences of going against the Elder Council?" Takir suddenly stepped forward. When Susan saw this, she quickly hid behind him.
Ye Feiyan had disagreed with having the Elder Council preside over the engagement ceremony, and Takir had already been unhappy about it. Now that Takara was nowhere to be found and Ye Feiyan still looked so casual, Takir was even more dissatisfied.
"Your sister disappeared during the engagement ceremony. Is this the rule of your Elder Council?" Ye Feiyan crossed her arms and looked coldly at Takir. "It's a pity that Miss Takara doesn't like me. In that case, let's forget about the engagement."
There was a murmur among the crowd. Ye Feiyan clearly seemed to be happy about this and didn't show the slightest bit of regret.
Susan tugged at the corner of Takir's clothes and said viciously, "Cousin, kill her! I just used up most of my magic power, and she blocked my attack. I don't believe she can still defeat you!"
Susan's hatred was undisguised. Ye Feiyan said casually, "You might as well give it a try."
Takir couldn't figure out exactly how powerful Ye Feiyan was. It was his sister who had insisted on getting engaged to her in the first place. Now that Takara had disappeared during the engagement ceremony, they had indeed been impolite.
Takir placed his left hand on his right shoulder, bent down, and bowed to Ye Feiyan. "I apologize to you on behalf of Takara."
The gold-rimmed glasses on Takir's nose, paired with his tailcoat, made him look very polite. His white gloves were spotless. With such proper etiquette, there was no reason for Ye Feiyan not to forgive him. His tall and slender figure left the Black Rose Castle. Susan felt that she was being stared at by the others and also left in a hurry.
Not long after, the guests all left. The blood in the arranged goblets still had some remaining warmth. Ye Feiyan shook her head regretfully. "Pour it out."
"Yes." Housekeeper Alisa gave a wink to the blood servants. They quickly cleaned up the blood in the hall as if the absurd banquet just now had never happened.
"Master, is Shisha still in your study?" Housekeeper Alisa noticed that "Shisha" was missing and thought she was locked in the study. Worried that "Shisha" would anger Ye Feiyan, she asked.
Ye Feiyan had just stretched her muscles and then remembered that there was still a little rabbit in the bedroom. "I asked her to clean my bedroom."
"You can leave such small matters to me to arrange." Housekeeper Alisa lowered her head as if she had really neglected her duty.
"From now on, she will be in charge of cleaning my bedroom." After saying that, Ye Feiyan turned around and was about to go upstairs. After taking only two steps up the stairs, she stopped again. "Do we have any carrots?"
Seeing Housekeeper Alisa looking at her with some confusion, she didn't bother to explain and continued, "Bring me some carrots. Get a few more."
"Yes." Housekeeper Alisa didn't ask any more questions. She turned and went to the kitchen. Fruits and vegetables were for the blood servants to eat. She didn't understand why Ye Feiyan would want carrots. But she believed that the master must have her reasons.
Ye Feiyan stood at the stairway waiting for her. After getting the carrots, she hummed a song and walked back to the bedroom. She hadn't had time to change her clothes yet and then started looking for Yu Wanwan. After such a long time, the little rabbit must be starving.
She walked around the large bedroom but found that it was empty. Ye Feiyan frowned. The western forest was full of vampires. Where could she have gone? It couldn't be that she had used the teleportation magic to teleport herself away again, could it?
At this thought, Ye Feiyan felt a bit empty inside. She had just put down the carrots when she suddenly noticed that there was a bulge in the corner of the neatly made quilt, and a bit of white fluff was showing.
Ye Feiyan walked over, lifted the corner of the quilt, and found the fluffy little rabbit curled up there sleeping.
She gently picked up the little rabbit. The little rabbit hadn't woken up yet. Its long ears hung down, and its small body just fit in the palm of her hand. Ye Feiyan couldn't help but rub her face against the little rabbit's soft fur. Yu Wanwan in her sleep didn't realize that she was being held in someone's hand. Ye Feiyan's touch made her shake her tail comfortably, and a small bubble came out of her pink nose.
She didn't expect that the short Yu Wanwan would be so small and cute even when she turned into a rabbit. The corner of Ye Feiyan's mouth turned up, and she stretched out a finger to pop the snot bubble on Yu Wanwan's nose. This woke up the sleeping little rabbit.
Yu Wanwan opened her eyes and found that she was being held in the hand of a vampire. Seeing the other person's face so close to hers, she instinctively thought that she was going to be eaten. In a panic, she desperately kicked her little short legs, but Ye Feiyan's hand held her front limbs, preventing her from jumping out.
Yu Wanwan desperately tried to remember the magic spell, but the more anxious she was, the more she forgot. With a "bang", the little rabbit in Ye Feiyan's palm suddenly turned into a human.
Ye Feiyan didn't expect Yu Wanwan to transform at this moment. If she stepped back, Yu Wanwan would fall to the ground. Helplessly, she had to sit on the ground herself, and Yu Wanwan landed on her lap.
Yu Wanwan had originally wanted to teleport, but she had never expected to suddenly turn into a human. Losing her balance, she hugged Ye Feiyan's waist. The cold touch scared her so much that she quickly jumped up. Seeing that her dress had been wrinkled by her, she quickly squatted down to smooth out the wrinkles. "Um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Don't eat..."
I won't eat you." Ye Feiyan helplessly stroked her forehead. "Why did you turn into a rabbit while sleeping?"
At Ye Feiyan's question, Yu Wanwan remembered. She touched her stomach and said somewhat aggrievedly, "I was hungry. The human form consumes too much energy, so I turned into a rabbit. But I was still so hungry that I fell asleep."
Ye Feiyan was amused by the little rabbit in front of her. "I brought you some carrots."
"Really!" Yu Wanwan happily raised her head. When she saw that there were many carrots on the table, she happily ran over.
The carrots here were the best quality ones selected by the eastern races and sent over. The crisp radishes were sweet and juicy. Yu Wanwan happily took a bite. After chewing twice, she suddenly stopped. Why did this vampire bring her food? Could it be that she wanted to fatten her up and then eat her?
Looking at the little rabbit who clearly wanted to eat but was staring at her warily, Ye Feiyan couldn't help but laugh. "Actually, you'd probably taste better if you were a bit thinner."
Yu Wanwan hugged the carrots and stared in horror with wide eyes. Could it be that this vampire didn't like fat ones?
At this thought, she quickly started gobbling up the carrots.
After eating three carrots in one go, she was already feeling a bit stuffed. But if she got fatter, wouldn't she be less likely to be eaten?
Watching her struggling to swallow, Ye Feiyan stepped forward to snatch the carrots away, but Yu Wanwan took two steps back while holding the carrots tightly. "I... I can still eat..."
"No more eating." Ye Feiyan put on a stern face. She was half a head taller than Yu Wanwan. When she slightly lowered her head, she could just see Yu Wanwan looking up at her with big, wet eyes blinking. Such a small rabbit would surely burst if she ate any more.
"I'm sorry." Yu Wanwan quickly lowered her head, afraid of making the vampire in front of her unhappy.
Ye Feiyan sighed. She raised her hand and ruffled Yu Wanwan's hair, only to find that the little rabbit closed her eyes in fear. Yu Wanwan's hair was also very soft, but she had transformed her ears into a human appearance, and Ye Feiyan felt a bit disappointed that she couldn't touch the rabbit ears.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Ye Feiyan held Yu Wanwan's tender white little hand.
Only then did Yu Wanwan notice the burn on her hand. Realizing it belatedly, it actually hurt a bit. "I accidentally burned it while wiping the candlestick."
Ye Feiyan gently kissed the burn on her hand. Yu Wanwan tensed up at first, thinking she was going to bite her. But her little hand was firmly held by the other person, and she couldn't break free. The cold lips made Yu Wanwan feel that the wound didn't hurt as much. When Ye Feiyan raised her head, the burn actually disappeared.
"Take a bath and get ready to rest." After a whole day of commotion, even though the engagement ceremony hadn't been held, Ye Feiyan was also a bit tired.
"Can I go to another room?" Yu Wanwan asked tentatively.
"No." Although there were no other vampires in the castle, even a blood servant could eat her. Her own bedroom was the safest place. Throwing the bath towel to Yu Wanwan, Ye Feiyan turned and went to the cloakroom to change her clothes. In order to look good in the dress, she had cinched her waist tightly. And to make matters worse, Susan had to cause trouble. It was really annoying.
Yu Wanwan entered the bathroom and turned on the showerhead, but no matter how she adjusted it, it was only cold water. Although it was summer now, Yu Wanwan still couldn't stand the cold. Helplessly, she just took a quick shower and then ran out wrapped in a bath towel.
Pushing open the bathroom door, she saw that Ye Feiyan had changed into a bunny-themed pajamas. Yu Wanwan's spine went cold. She looked like she was wearing a rabbit skin no matter how one looked at it.
"What's wrong?" Ye Feiyan was a bit puzzled seeing the little rabbit standing there stiffly.
"Is your clothes made of rabbit skin?" Yu Wanwan took two steps back.
Ye Feiyan chuckled. "No." She had originally thought that wearing this, the little rabbit wouldn't be afraid of her anymore, but unexpectedly, the little rabbit was even more scared.
"Achoo!" Yu Wanwan suddenly sneezed. Seeing her face turn red, Ye Feiyan stepped forward and touched her head. Only then did she remember that there was only cold water in the castle.
Yu Wanwan was only wrapped in a bath towel, and her tender white short legs were exposed in the air. A layer of goosebumps appeared on her skin.
"Go to bed and cover yourself with the quilt." Ye Feiyan went to the cloakroom and picked out a nightgown that the little rabbit could wear. As soon as she came out, she saw Yu Wanwan shivering under the quilt, looking like she was badly frozen.
Ye Feiyan took a towel and wiped her hair, saying with a bit of reproach, "Why didn't you say the water was cold?"
"It's okay." Actually, Yu Wanwan didn't dare to say. What if it was too much trouble and she would be eaten? Taking the nightgown, Yu Wanwan got under the quilt to put it on and then poked her head out from under the quilt.
Ye Feiyan ruffled her head. "Go to sleep."
With a wave of her hand, all the candles in the bedroom went out. The darkness made her a bit uncomfortable. Yu Wanwan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Can you leave one lamp on?"
"Afraid of the dark?" In the dark, the little rabbit nodded. Ye Feiyan snapped her fingers, and the candle by the bed lit up. Only then did Yu Wanwan feel at ease and fall asleep.
